Ponta de Agulha

Suellen Luz's song 'Ponta de Agulha' is a powerful declaration of self-assurance and mystique. The lyrics convey a strong message of self-protection and the consequences of crossing boundaries. The repeated refrain, 'Não mexa comigo, que eu não mexo com ninguém,' translates to 'Don't mess with me, and I won't mess with anyone,' setting the tone for the song's assertive stance. The metaphor 'Eu sou ponta de agulha' ('I am the tip of a needle') suggests that while the singer may seem small or insignificant, she is sharp and capable of causing significant impact when provoked.

The song delves into themes of mysticism and justice, with the singer identifying herself as the daughter of a sorcerer and hinting at hidden mysteries in her story. This connection to the supernatural is further emphasized by the mention of an orixá, a deity in Afro-Brazilian religions, indicating that her power and magic are deeply rooted in spiritual traditions. The line 'Este canto tem magia, ele vem de uma orixá' ('This song has magic, it comes from an orixá') reinforces the idea that her strength and influence are not just personal but also spiritual.

'Ponta de Agulha' also explores the concept of retribution and moral balance. The singer warns that she enforces justice without compromise, as seen in the lines 'Eu só cumpro a justiça: “Prometeu... Tem que pagar”' ('I only enforce justice: “Promised... Must pay”'). This no-nonsense approach to justice is further highlighted by her claim that she does good to those who are good and worse to those who are bad, with no room for leniency. The song's powerful message and cultural references make it a compelling piece that resonates with themes of strength, mystery, and moral integrity.
